MLitt vs. MPhil
Can anyone fill me in on the essential difference between an MLitt and an MPhil? I know that an MLitt is a (generally) one year taught course, while an MPhil is taught in the first year, with the dissertation (or what have you) done during the second. If you're planning on applying to a PhD program afterwards, which one is best?
I ask because I've been corresponding with a professor from Big UK University and mentioned I wanted to do an MPhil--and he keeps talking about an MLitt, and then continuing on with him for a PhD if I like the environment at Big UK University.... I was under the impression that it was best to do an MPhil before applying to PhD programs, not an MLitt...
